During the fall, there appears to have been a change in Sweden’s crown strategy.
In the spring, the government did not once oppose the Public Health Agency. But the decision that a maximum of eight people can meet during public meetings was a decision of the government and not of the Public Health Agency:
– This is the government’s decision regarding how many people can meet. We are not the ones who set foot at all, Tegnell said on Swedish radio in connection with the message.
The decision shows that power has been switched, according to Svenska Dagbladet.
– Perhaps they have started to lose confidence in Tegnell a bit, says political scientist Bo Rothstein to SvD.
Political scientists on the explanation.
Sweden’s administrative model with independent authorities explains that the government followed the Swedish Public Health Agency.
Marja Lemne, a political scientist at the University of Södertörn, is “amazed” by the trust the government has placed in the Public Health Agency.
– You can call it trust or that you want someone else to hide behind and blame, she says.
“Confidence remains completely unchanged”
But state epidemiologist Anders Tegnell disagrees that confidence should have waned.
– Not at all. It is not me he trusts, but authority, and that trust remains intact. There is especially my boss Johan Carlson who has the dialogue and there are no signs of such a thing. The fact that we no longer send formal requests to the government is due to the fact that we have such a good dialogue that we no longer need to spend time with it, he tells Aftonbladet.
In the same interview, he also rejects criticism that it would have minimized the risks that the spread of the infection would increase again. He says the Swedish Public Health Agency has made it clear that the virus will remain for a long time:
– I can not understand it. In other countries it has been said that it is something that we will completely get rid of. We have been clear that this is a disease that will persist for a long time.
